Santa Baby

So we missed Santa when he came to our Ward Christmas Party so we went and saw him at the Library. The girls just walked up to him and he held out his hand and picked Clara right up. Mrs. Clause picked up Carlie and put her on Santa's lap. I was so surprised. I was expecting tears. Here are a few pictures of the event. Sorry they are a little blurry, but I had to use my cell phone cause I left the camera at home.

2nd party in one day

So we went to Leo's for lunch and then we had a party at night for presents and cake and ice cream. Both set of Grandparents came and Kristine and her kids and her husband Sam came and Cory and Shamane and their kids came. I attempted to make a Pooh bear cake and you will see why I said I attempted. At least I can saw I tried and that I am not gonna do that again. We had a fun time. It was like Christmas for the girls. They got new snow suits,coats,hats, gloves, and boots. So now they are ready for the snow to really fall. They got books, and a movie, and puzzles and new christmas dresses. Any ways now that that is over I can focus on Christmas.

Birthday Party at Leo's

We took the girls to Leo's Pizza place for their birthday. Lots of people came to join in the festivities. Both sets of Grandparents, Uncle Steven, some friends; Jason and Janette and their kids and Kristine and her kids. We ate pizza and the kids played on all of the toys.
I can't believe my babies are 2 years old. Time just goes on by and you don't even realize it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Well we had a great day yesterday. We were able to spend the day with the Brown's. We didn't have all the Brown's ( we missed you Nate, Marie and Lilly), but it was cozy and fun. Here are a few pictures to help us remember what we are thankful for.

The girls are having crazy fun

The girls are covering Grandma with leaves and jumping up and down. The Cat is a visitor that is very friendly. My parents feed all of the cats in the neighborhood.

The girls had so much fun playing with grandma in the leaves

FALL FABULOUS FUN

It was a cold day but the girls had lots of fun anyways. Uncle Steven and grandma raked up lots of leaves for the girls to play in. They had fun throwing the leaves on grandma.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

So here are the buzzing bee's. We had such a long halloween holiday this year. It actually started last week with a ward trunk r treat. Then the had a party on this wednesday and then we went to the event at the snake river landing. Then we went to the trunk r treat at Grandma Hancock's ward and then we came over to the Brown's for Pizza and fun. Whew!!! I am tired. I know you probably can't see me very well but I am a Beehive ( I have bee's in my hair). Well we had lots of fun and the costumes definately were put to good use this year.

PAINTING OUR PUMPKINS

Here are the girls painting their pumpkins. They really enjoyed it. It is so cool seeing how different they are from each other. Clara mixed all of her paint together to make one color, and Carlie used one color at a time. Mike and I each carved a pumpkin. We had a good family home evening that monday night.

PICKING PUMPKINS

We have some friends that let us go pick pumpkins at their house every year. So we went and got 1 for each of us. They have a fun house and that is what all of these pictures are from. We had a great time swinging on a tree swing and chasing a dog around.

SLACKER....

Well I am a slacker now when it comes to blogging. I just don't have the resources at hand to do it as often as I would like. So today no pictures, but I just wanted to talk about how grown up my girls are. They are talking all the time and repeat everything I say ( Guess I need to pay special attention to that). I brought home a potty the other day to just introduce it to them on their level and Carlie is attached to it. The first day she carried it around with her and she actually went pee in it. Since it has been a little slow but she has gone #1 and #2 in it. It is so exciting when you get to see your children accomplish things. Clara is a little afraid of the potty but I know she will catch on as they both learn from each other. I just love the fact that I do get to stay home, most of the time with them and get to see them grow up. Also I just wanted to add that my hubby left to day to go fishing in Salmon and I already miss him.

Camping with the Brown's

So this is kind of an old event but I wanted to share it anyways. We had such a good time camping but the last night we had a huge rain and thunderstorm and I thought we were gonna get swept away. The Thunder was so loud that I was even scared, but it didn't wake up the girls. We love camping and we have taking a few more trips this year that hopefully I will get around to blogging in he near future.

Camping with the Brown's

Clara thought that she was 16 already. HA HA !! I don't think so

We saw a Moose on our drive, it was the first for Marie. so we were all very excited

The girls were checking to see that Uncle Nathan got everthing right as he was setting up his tent

The girls playing with Lilly. Lilly loved the girls cell phones cause they played nusic and she loved to play it and then dance

The girls were checking on Grandpa as he was cooking

Camping with the Brown's

Isn't Clara adorable in this picture. I asked her to show me her flower and I got this gorgeous picture. We had so much fun playing in the daisy fields.

The girls just love their cousin Lilly. They had so much fun playing and getting dirty with her. They love to go camping.

Our Cute Girls

Here are our cute girls. We had family pictures taken in March with Mike's family and then less than a week later I was at this home emporium store and they had lots of booths set up and one was of a photographer and she was waving al settin fees, so I had her take a few of the girls, and it just so happened that they were wearing the exact same thing that they were wearing in the family picture. And you will never believe it but Carlie actually smiled and so of course I had to buy them. So here are the cute girls.

Waking up Clara

So Clara has been falling asleep the last couple of times she has been eating dinner. This time I couldn't get her to wake up.

EASTER MORNING

I am not sure the girls knew what to expect. Carlie just walked past the baskets and didn't even know they were there until we pointed them out. They loved the books and of course the candy. Here is a video just showing you how this morning went.

HAPPY EASTER

The girls got books from the Easter bunny and they couldn't wait to read them

The girls first see their Easter baskets

Here is what the Easter bunny brought the girsl. Books, and dresses, candy and some socks

THIS ONE IS FOR NATE,MARIE, AND LILLY

Don't these onesies look great on the girls. Thanks so much for sending them to the girls. They fit them perfectly.
